2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Review Specs

What identity deficient as a part of its identity, the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan crossover SUV makes with its spotless approach.

The second chance did not come easily, but not much about Volkswagen that was not painful recently. 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is a large compact SUV crossover-or small mid-store, perhaps-riding a comeback trail for car makers. Like the full-size Atlas, Tiguan aims directly at buyer preferences for high-tech riding vehicles full of technology and price. Buyers interested in a compact crossover SUV feel embarrassed by the current choice; every car maker puts his best foot to lure buyers to showrooms. The Volkswagen effort is amazing, if somewhat anodyne, and is a solid step back into some good buyers grace.

Volkswagen earns points for a crossover SUV that does everything requested. The new tiguan is wider than its predecessor with relatively quiet travel, attractive prices, and modest fuel economy improvements. It lacks the novelty of the Mazda CX-5, the fuel savings of the Honda CR-V, or the mass appeal of the Toyota RAV4, but Volkswagen has an ace that its competitors do not have – or not.
New Tiguan (like Atlas) comes with a new car warranty of 6l / 72,000 superlative miles that can be transferred to buyers in a row. It should fix the resale value for Tiguan during that period, and give the new owner peace of mind.

Volkswagen’s warranties are more than generous than other cars.
Beyond its superlative warranty, Volkswagen Tiguan is struggling to carve a niche for itself. The third line available is like a comparable Nissan Rogue toll – great for occasional use – and the Tiguan turbo-4 feels heavy sometimes on the road.

The Volkswagen Tiguan S model serves as a base and will not impress many buyers beyond the low entry price of $ 25,345. The middle-tier SE model begins to eradicate the feeling with better seats and a larger touch screen. SEL or SEL Premium models accumulate on technology and convenience.

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Styling

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan stepped out with new shapes and new sizes that will not be instantly recognizable from past Volkswagen crossover owners. The new Tiguan avoids a rounded approach to previous models for sharper and sculpted edges and a more intimidating nose. This is a contemporary look, though not too bold. Tiguan managed to get what some other car manufacturers have forgotten in the crossover: the back. The Tiguan Volkswagen is very sharp coming or going, and more rear glass in lift lifts Tiguan has pressed the rising windowline that has given the other visual cross touch. In front, a copy of the Tigan / pastes horizontal grille, bumper, and lower fascia of Atlas. The smooth folds on the bonnet are the only touch of style on the Tiguan, and even less flashy-they are just standout compared to the rest of the crossover.

In profile, Tiguan is not as cool or masculine or Atlas, and Tiguan does not use the wheel arches to attack the tougher poses. The relatively low window line and wide rear doorway are suitable for entry, exit, and visibility, but swim upstream from the cabin crossover trends of high shielded cabins.
A glide spoken from the front fender to the rear is a modern Tiguan touch that only exists, and helps separately split the car visually from the bottom half without using a floating roof that attracts attention-or worse.

Inside, Tiguan is a promise of modern function throughout the day. It is very clean and simple without much fuss. If you’ve ever opened an iPhone box in the last decade you’ll recognize VW’s approach here; This is an unflattering packaging favored by the buyer.

The 8.0-inch touchscreen dominates the attention on the SE model and the higher premium SEL model swaps the middle gauge for a sharp 12.3-inch display of driver information.

Interior colors do not dare, and buyers looking for more spices may need to wait for a Tiguan R-Line model that could add a little more talent.

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Performance

Soft, lonely, but not too fast, Volkswagen Tiguan 2018 is best as an urban city.

Undoubtedly, there may be other plans for Volkswagen Tiguan 2018 when conceived about five years ago, but we have traveled a long way, dear.
Today, the Volkswagen Tiguan is offered with a single engine, a new 2.0-liter turbo-4 that produces 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque.
It’s down on hp but up on the twist from the last machine, with predictable results. His only accomplice is an 8-speed automatic, which can shuffle power through the front wheels, or all four wheels as they are equipped.

Turbo-4 Tiguan is new to Volkswagen and engineered for efficiency. Its 184 hp output drops on the current 200 hp model, but rises torsi to 221 lb-ft from 207 lb-ft.

The devil, they say, is in the details. Volkswagen 2018 provides a smooth but pressing force, at the beginning of the rev range. Most of the engine rotation is available earlier, down at 1,600 rpm, which helps Tiguan feel like a titan when taking off. At higher speed and speed, Tiguan is quickly out of breath. Inside our drive in and around the Rocky Mountains, we found that Tiguan takes about 10 seconds to accelerate from 60 mph to 80 mph, roughly the same speed it takes to execute a feed on the interstate.

The engine is exclusively paired with 8 speed automatic that is suitable for efficiency and helps Tiguan achieve a combined combination of 23 mpg competitive. As a result, automatically hesitate to kick in and not feel very bright. Upshifts quickly and sharply, Tiguan was eager to find a third fixture before the other side of the crossing.

In addition to the powertrain deficit, Tiguan excels in pampering passengers with easy ride and competent handling. The same basic settings from last year remain: standing up in front and back of the multilink, even though Tiguan colors feel softer now.

The feeling is duplicated to the wheel, which is light and does not change much by placing the Tiguan into “Sport” mode.

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Comfort & Quality

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is near the top in its class for comfort in its first two lines.

The padding for the front seat was thin, but above average, and the backseat boasted an incredible room. The cargo space on Tiguan’s two lines is much better-lacks the old version-and the ride is incredible.

The new Tiguan excels in showing off what you want to see, and hiding places you do not like. The Base Tiguan S model is etched in honorable durable fabric, but also highlights low entry, or teaser, price. Stepping into the SE model adds convincing synthetic leather that feels better and the 8.0 inch touch screen better distracts from some loud black plastic around the cabin. The chair is comfortable and comfortable throughout the day with plenty of leg room.

The rear passengers can get the best seating at home with enough leg room for the highest legs, and a sliding rear seat that offers the ultimate flexibility. Two adults will find plenty of space in the back, but like the last Tiguan, a shoulder room can deter three adults to drive back long.

The third row which is standard on the front-wheel drive model but is optional on the all-wheel-drive version should be carefully considered before choosing. It is not suitable for adults, two seats and strongly inhibits the cargo space that can be used in Tiguan. Simply put, this is an occasional bench.

At the rear, the Tiguan offers 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space, some rock beneath the Honda CR-V, but the wide gap and load of VW’s load makes it very accessible.

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Features

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is competitively equipped on all models, but we are all in premium audio.

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan has a secret: it offers one of the most comprehensive warranties for a new car on the road today.

Volkswagen offers Tiguan (and a larger Atlas) with a new 6-year / 72,000-mile new car warranty that can be transferred to a new owner.
Each Tiguan is equipped with a six-speaker stereo, a rear-view camera, a USB port, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 6.5-inch touch screen for infotainment.

The front-drive model has the third standard row, while the all-wheel drive model (which costs $ 1,300 more) can be equipped with a short third row for $ 500 extra.
Stepping onto the SE model adds leather seats, 8.0 inch touch screen, power adjustable seat, available panoramic sunroof, keyless ignition, dual zone climate control, three USB ports, and more options available.

The SEL model is one step above the range and adds a long distance start, power liftgate, adaptive cruise control, and navigation.
The Premium SEL model goes the distance with Fender branded premium audio, more advanced safety features, handsfree liftgate, and leather upholstery.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto present standard on all models along with VW telematics services.

Two words about the basic audio system: it’s not great. We highly recommend choosing a premium audio system on all basic models. Consider saving money by skipping the third row when following the all-wheel-drive model.
